communities’ issues.

III. Volunteer Engagement:

You will recruit and engage volunteers of all ages in service, developing
onetime service project opportunities and creating on-going volunteer opportunities.

projects in the communities they serve. About once a month, you will join your teammates in a

TEACH ENGLISH IN KOREA

 

Why come to Korea?
Korea offers the best ESL teaching opportunities in the world.  Do you need to save money, pay off student loans or build for the future?  If so, Korea is the place for you.  Korea offers the highest starting salaries, the best benefits with regard to free round-trip air fare, free housing and the cost of living is really cheap.  Korea also offers one of the most efficient public transportation systems of all major cities, most of the amenities Westerners can find with in their own country, a unique culture, delicious and healthy foods, and some the kindest, warmest people in the world.  Because of the Low income tax and the Free housing, you will save more money during your FIRST YEAR in Korea with just a Bachelor's degree than you will with a Master's degree working at most North American public high schools.
